    pH value of Rio Nanay.

    pH measurements in Peru vary greatly. When I have visited at the end of the dry season (October) pH measurements within the river drainages can be as low as 3.5pH but never more than approximately 6.0pH. They are generally highly acidic waters. ... The Rio Nanay drainage, where your...

    well well well, what have we here?

    Wow Kaj... I didnt realise you were keeping, or have kept, so many different species of Apistogramma. I thought that your tanks were almost entirely dedicated to discus. Mark...

    well well well, what have we here?

    The A.sp.Wangenflecken I had didnt have the pronounced caudal spot markings that your fish have here and the lateral band was also much narrower. The body of your fish is much deeper than my "Wangenflecken". I would say that you have a form of A.cf.caetei, possibly from the same area where your...

    Yes take no notice of that Raymond... They most likely stock Czech bred fish who generally export the same fish under the two different species names. Mark...

    Apistogramma sp. Winkelfleck

    Hi Kaj, Tom and I brought some of these back from Peru in 2010 from the Rio Mayoruna which is very close to the Rio Orosa where im sure your fish originated. Since 1999 these fish have often been sold as A.sp.Oroja which is actually just a misspelling of Orosa, a southern tributary of the...

    Mike, I remember saying to Tom that if you managed to find A.cf.payaminonis then I would swim to Norway in November to visit the "candy store with the granite floor"... Well Ive been getting a few lengths in at the local baths (Swimming pool) to get myself in shape and Ive just purchased a...

    We walked into the jungle...

    Im quite surprised at the length of the dorsal fin lappets, they dont look very extended at all in the photo.. Are you calling these A.payaminonis or A.cf.payaminonis? Well done chaps... Much more success than when Tom and I looked for them in 2010. Looks like the plans were not "subject to...

    New Species

    Well done to Uwe and the LMI-EDIA-project team. The only problem i have with the paper, and also the teams A.cinilabra paper, is the fact that Uwe mentions a limited distribution and as a result the fishes poor conservation status. As Dave mentions the project doesnt collect /study...

    Can everyone please offer a opinion..

    As i said via email Steve its definately not A.barlowi. The pics do not show many diagnostic features but i wouldnt be surprised at all if it wasnt A.juruensis. As Mike says its not reported from the Yavari valley but their reported distribution range is not too far away at all. Tom and i had...
